I don't get to ride as much as I would like. The riding season where I live is 4 months at best. It grates on me a little seeing thousands of my dollars sitting under a cover in my garage for a third of the year. But I'm not giving it up.
This is my second 1800 VTX. I had an 03 several years ago but I sold it when I went to school. I love the platform. That said, I will probably be selling this one fairly soon. It's a nice bike to leave at home in the driveway when you're going somewhere. I sold a Harley Roadking to buy this one because I felt like the Roadking was a bit of an old man's bike, but this one is a bit too much in the other direction.
I've owned:
1984 Kawasaki KZ1100 - wish I never sold this one.
2007 Yamaha V-Star 1100 custom
2003 Honda VTX 1800c
2001 Harley Roadking
2005 Honda VTX 1800
My father constantly has something different in the garage, so I've ridden dozens and dozens of bikes of all makes and models.
